Fifteen proverbs, gathered from around the world, make up the text for this special piece. A guiro, cabasa, and bongos provide the rhythmic accompaniment. The piece opens with spoken recitation of the proverbs, and grows to a section where four melody lines converge, accompanied by both percussion and recitation of the proverbs. The highly creative piece ends with the Zimbabwe proverb: If you can walk you can dance, if you can talk, you can sing.

The mass of men live lives of quiet desparation.
Live the life you’ve dreamed!
The universe is wider than our views of it.
This world is but a canvas to our imaginations.
Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.

by Henry David Thoreau
